Justice IG sends criminal referral of Andrew McCabe to US attorney

Washington (CNN)The Justice Department's inspector general has sent a criminal referral regarding former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe to the US attorney's office in Washington, according to a source familiar with the matter.

ETA:

WaPo seems to have the most reporting on this. Apparently the referral was sent "some time ago":

Inspector general referred findings on McCabe to U.S. attorney for consideration of criminal charges

The Justice Department inspector general referred its finding that former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe repeatedly misled investigators who were examining a media disclosure to the top federal prosecutor in D.C. to determine whether McCabe should be charged with a crime, according to people familiar with the matter.

The referral to the D.C. U.S. Attorney’s Office occurred some time ago, after the inspector general concluded McCabe had lied to investigators or his own boss, then-FBI Director James B. Comey, on four occasions, three of them under oath.

It was not immediately clear how the D.C. U.S. Attorney’s Office responded to the referral, or whether prosecutors there are conducting their own investigation or believe criminal charges are appropriate. A referral to federal prosecutors does not necessarily mean McCabe will be charged with a crime.

He's been waiting for the other show to drop for a long time....and it was just a matter of time.

I wonder if he gets the same search and seizure treatment as others have recently been treated to?

I think just the OIG report alone is thorough and clear. There might be some things we haven't heard about McCabe yet coming from Inspector General Horowitz too.

This puts Comey in line for charges as well I'm pretty sure.

Reading all the reports, underlying documents, and testimony under oath records makes the truth and scope of what might be coming as regards to, not only the letter from the Congressmen, but what all the investigations in progress are going to mean for quite a few players.

Oh yeah and how about attorney client privilege.

This is where the double standards and hypocrisy
will stand out like the grand canyon.

Im baffled at the balls he and his wife showed, making public and empassioned pleas about how rotten Trump was for firing him (when it wasn't Trump that did it), and how disgusting it was to steal his retirement from him in such a callous way.

It takes a special kind of person, like a sociopath, to pull that kind of nonsense.

This criminal referral will lead to James Comey because McCabe and Comey are directly contradicting each other.

Is there anyone at all in DC that actually tells the truth anymore? Maybe the mouse living in the white house basement is honest, oh my god, I gave out too much information on him now, they will be out to kill the traitor now.

Of course they will need a special council to investigate that mouse, made of cats I suppose.

I'd be surprised if he gets arrested or prosecuted......I'm a republican, but it seems all we do is talk big...NO ONE ever does anything....

Most likely he will get to destroy evidence, will be given immunity, a book deal and a sucker for his trouble..

If the past is any hint of what will happen...

We're all skeptical from past experience. However, there's a hole in the deep state dike for the first time since JFK. The unpredictable entered the room and havoc ensued.

The way this has been breaking in stages has awakened a lot of folk and they/we are pissed. There were a lot of mistakes made by folk who believed the incoming admin (same as the old admin) would keep it covered.

This encouraged what few white hats in Washington we have. And among them IG Horowitz who is a nightmare. He was held back and undermined by the last admin and he had to scrap hard to--and did--to get to be able to do his job in a proper manner. His first report is a testament to the fact that he takes his job seriously.

Further, there's more evidence already developed than most realize. And quite a few investigations too. We tend to forget about some of them. Like the leak sting for example.

Then there's the report(s) coming as regards FISA abuse. There's a lot of "there" there.

The deep state dike is starting to spring holes all over.

So its shaping up for him to possibly be the sacrificial lamb... wonder if he will threaten to flip on bigger fish or just fall on his sword for the greater good.

Don't forget a commentator job at CNN.

I think the realty is this: The deep state knows their position and is more than willing to give up a few heads even higher than McCabe but not as high as it should go.

We'll get more than we've got previously but we'll have to settle for that this go around. That's the worse case scenario. The whole old structure could collapse. The NSA & CIA do seem to be in a unique struggle. We might be seeing some of that and it has some explanatory power.

The rule of law doesn't apply to the elites.

It hasn't for a long time.

He threw himself on the fire to leak about the CF investigation. Funny how all of these people will ruin themselves for the Clinton’s.



Eric holder would be my next search warrant, that guy literally got away with murder.

C'mon Brother DB have just a little hope this time. It's definitely the last stand.

As silly as "Meme Magic" sounds it actually has a scientific base. It's certainly been used on us in various social engineering forms.

Let's just decide to be pissed enough that this time is enough and nothing but some sociopathic heads will do.

So...shift that energy a bit. Just a bit. It's like a wave and the deep state is the shore, Rah-rah-REE...kick 'em in the other ass (edited for time & content.)

I would love to be wrong.

I would love to see that justice was meted out equally.

I would love to see that we were all equal under the law.


But I honestly believe we stand a better chance of seeing Bigfoot have unprotected sex with the Loch Ness Monster televised live from the planet Unicorn before we see honesty from DC.
